Replacement battery for ZTE Blade/San Francisco

[Guest ollie84]

Where on earth can I get a replacement battery? I lost mine the other night. Absolutely no idea how it happened. Rang up Orange and they don't have any online or in the shops! I Googled it but I'm at a loose end.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

I think i've seen a few on eBay, check there!

[Guest ollie84]

I've had a look there as well but there aren't any available. There must be a website out there selling San Francisco accessories.

There wont be many on ebay, I just sold 18 that I imported so I had one myself but wont be bringing any more in, another guy had a few from another zte phone that apparently work with the blade but looks like he is out too. I know a guy who is importing some into finland if you are willing to pay the postage and he will sell you one that might be your only option.

[Guest ollie84]

Ok, thanks. If anyone has one spare then just send me a message. Let me know if you import any more as well if you could. Thanks for you help.

The battery model code is "li3712t42p3h444865"

Googled it, and only found rjm2k's old ebay listed ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Battery-Orange-Sanfr...5#ht_500wt_1156 )

Still, hopefully having the model number will be able to help you at some stage

[Guest ollie84]

Ah, thanks for that. Will come in handy at some point.

[Guest ollie84]

This is getting beyond a joke now.

There are no replacement batteries anywhere!

Thanks for that pointer, edited my post as the shop seems to be a scam.

[Guest Raspa]

They aren't a scam as such, they have been going for years and people do generally get what they order (eventually), but they have about the worst CS I've ever heard of.

Probably as its a hardware fault and you bought the phone from them.

I tried phoning Orange and they said they didn't have any batteries. I spoke to a very helpful woman and I told her it didn't come with a battery. She said she'd get a new phone sent and for me to swap the old one with the guy at the door. Then she emailed saying Orange have evidence that the phone is being used, which it isn't it was just used a couple of times with my partner's SF battery. The bastards. I emailed her back saying this and threatened to take Orange to small claims court so she said she'd look into it again. It's an outrage that I shouldn't get a new battery after losing mine through my own stupidity.

Don't wish to worry you mate but I would *amend* your posts.

If Orange are looking at this after your threatening email and a member of their investigation team Googles: "San Fransico replacement Battery" they will find this Forum!!!!! :D ..... :)

...then they may See your username and number "84" (D.O.B. perhaps) and be able to identify that it was actually you that lost the battery which could stop Orange from helping you further ;) not trying to have a go but if it was me I would be more anonymous until after they have got you a replacement ;)

I hope there's a big pinch of sarcasm in here!
